Pension Lists for the 50th Illinois Infantry, 1927 Records

There are nine Pension Lists here.  The lists for the years 1926, 1927 and 1929 are from the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions.  The lists from the 1930s are from the Veterans Administration. Most of the lists contain the addresses where the Civil War veterans were living at the time, some contain the veterans ID numbers. These lists are from letters sent to reunion organizers to inform them about which of the 50th Illinois Infantry veterans were still living in a particular year. Special thanks to Jan Walker for providing these lists for Adams County researchers.
